Free running is a physical discipline that combines elements of parkour and acrobatics, allowing individuals to navigate urban environments creatively and fluidly. Practitioners, known as free runners, use their bodies to jump, climb, and vault over obstacles, emphasizing self-expression and artistic movement. Unlike traditional parkour, which focuses primarily on efficient movement, free running incorporates flips, spins, and other gymnastic maneuvers. This style encourages creativity and personal style, making it a popular activity for those seeking both physical challenge and artistic expression in their surroundings.
